Getting some info

May 15, 2009

Well...I have decided schedule an consultation with Dr. Wiljon W. Beltre in Altamonte Springs, FL to discuss VSG surgery.  I also have a surgical hernia that I need removed & I want to consult with him on that also.  My hope is to have both done at the same time, if possible.

I have CIGNA PPO & as far as I can tell, I meet their requirements.  I am in their required BMI range, have a secondary medical condition (type II diabetes) and am in otherwise good health.  I do not have high cholesterol or blood pressure, nor any other issues that some may have going into this surgery.  My hope is to lose close to 100lbs, putting me around 130-140.   At 5'4", that is an ideal weight for my body structure (medium build)

My consultation is Thursday morning, so wish me luck!! 
I'll report back after my initial visit
